Actually an amazing game. It has way more depth than I thought it would have. I love the sprites. I am a sucker for the ice and pink aesthetics :D The levels were really fun and challenging. Very well done.
It's a little bit easier with the secret 4th jump but the confusing control scheme makes up for it. Is having a "change keys" setting in unity still a pain in the ass? i hoped they got rid of that by now.
Besides that almost a pristine game for such a short time! I love the sound effect when you leave the body.
EDIT: the itch.io desktop app still needs some work. sorry for the triple comment :D
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was planning on adding it as an option, but some last minute bugs wouldn't let me.
Nice game, but difficulty on the first jump of the third stage is way too dificult for me... The choice of w for jump and space for split is not adapted to my hands...
Frustrating, because I wanted to see more!
I have cleared all the content, the game very interesting and challenging. I love it, can't leave it until I clear all level :)
Very great game!
Extremely beautiful game. Simple, but effective. I have nothing to say other than congratulations!
Sorry for the late play!! Really unique take on the soul concept, but the fact that your soul has a limited time and that u can launch your soulless body without hurting it needs more feedback and better explanation imo :3
i'm glad you enjoyed it! if my partner and I ever continue i definitely agree that we need to give better feedback and a better explanation. we were planning on it during the jam but code kept breaking so it never made the cut.
Art is amazing and I love the gameplay mechanics, really fun. Great job, my favourite submission so far! ~ Do check mine and give your valueable feedback:D
i really enjoyed the concept, and the sfx added so much to the atmoshpere , kinda got stuck on the 3rd level where you had to jump thru the spikes. could not really figure out how to no die. but all the time i kept failing i was still really engaged, the concept is just awesome! thanks
thanks for the comment! sorry about the third level, my partner and I didn't make the levels very easy and kept the explanations brief mostly due to time, but if we continue i'll make sure to clear up similar confusions and pace the game better.
Lovely game! I really enjoyed it. This was a nice take on the theme and created a really interesting atmosphere. I loved the attention to detail with color! Really stellar job there, and the art in general is really excellent! The sound effects were also great. The only thing that is missing for this to feel like finished game is music! So very well done!
thanks! my partner and I tried making music, but we couldn't due to time.
Definitely one of my favorite games so far, I didn’t expect to like it this much.
It’s got a great level of polish, the controls are crisp, and the design of the mechanics and levels is sound. I encountered a couple of small glitches with the collision but otherwise the experience was really nice.
I only wish there were more levels.
By the way there are some interesting emergent advanced techniques you can mess around with, e.g. it’s possible to perform a triple jump (without leaving your body behind) with careful timing: https://gfycat.com/DisastrousRingedFoal
[EDIT: After reading other comments I realize I wasn’t ambitious enough with one extra jump. I didn’t even think to try getting more than that… Oh well, regardless, I see great potential in this]
i'm glad you liked it so much! as for the triple jump technique, it's actually a bug that i was planning on fixing but was overshadowed due to physics bugs instead, but i would like to explore similar ideas to it if my partner and I carry on with the project.
this game is so good :O. I really enjoy the idea of splitting the body and the soul. Great job
This game was a lot of fun! The final level definitely stumped me for a while (I kept trying to go back and then drop my body off, when I should've done that first), and it was so rewarding to finally finish. I love how polished and simple the mechanic was, how you got another jump when you separated and how you could propel the body places as part of the puzzle. The time limit to return struck a good balance of not letting you take your time but not being impossible to achieve. The art style and music were gentle and nice too. I hope you consider adding more to this game in the future, good job!
Amazing!
This is an excellent game! The pixel art and color palette are on point, and the gameplay is great ^^
really solid! I love the look of everything too! Great job :D
One of my favourites so far. Cool intro, nice pacing, solid level design.
Gameplay is interesting, and well explored.
Dont like the fact, that you Jump with W. Doesnt feel right to me.
However, I really really love, the soul split process. Sound, color etc. gives me a great sence of mysterie and impact.
Well done!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! During playtesting, we found W to be the most comfortable key for jump and I can understand your frustration.
Beautiful!!! The sound when the soul leaves body gives chill love it!!! The last level HARD AF tho:DD. Disconnecting your soul and changing direction mid-jump and also jumping bruh :D. You basically have 3 jumps which I think is super cool! Well done
Really awesome game! The pixel art is absolutely beautiful, and the gameplay mechanics are awesome! The levels are super satisfying, this whole game is really really good! Amazing job!
One note: you can totally cheat by spamming jump and "leave body" at the same time, if you press fast enough you can just keep granting yourself jumps and then just fly up and through the levels. It's not a big deal, but it was pretty funny to do, haha!
yeah the soul spamming was a bug that was found out too late to be fully fixed, but I'm glad you liked it!
Using W to Double Jump was frustrating for me. It mad the first level difficult. Its OK with practice but still :-) Regardless everything else is a really good game with good ideas and fit of theme plus nice art and sound to boot
i can understand the frustration of W as jump, but during our playtesting we found it the most comfortable. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
W for Jump is great but the double jump felt awkward to me for some reason. Anyhow excellent game.
Awesome game! I really like this form of being "Joined together", and it makes for some interesting mechanics too! The characters are cute, and the audio fits perfectly too, great job!
